Preparation

Step 1

Place cubed potatoes in a large pot filled with water. Boil until potatoes are JUST fork tender (don’t want them too soggy).

Preheat oven 350 degrees and lightly oil a 9 x 9″ baking dish with olive oil.

While potatoes boil, prepare bacon in skillet. Pat dry and crumble. Set aside.

Melt butter in a saucepan and when potatoes are done and drained, pour over potatoes.

Combine grated cheeses (reserving 2 T parmesan cheese), garlic, onion, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika in a separate bowl. Pour over potatoes. Mix well. Cheese should melt beautifully!

Pour into prepared dish. Sprinkle with bacon and parmesan cheese. Bake for ~30 minutes.

I love to see an RD post a HIGH FAT and decadent meal every once in a while!!! This sounds amazing! And of course, I will practice eating in moderation if I make this
